NPR also recently had a story with this conclusion.

It doesn't seem all that pricey or complicated to me. Perhaps I'm missing some of the big picture, but it sure seems odd this angle has been hitting main stream media in a reinforcing manner.

I want to re-watch Futurama. Can you tell me where it’s available to stream?

It was on Netflix for a few months, now it’s a Hulu exclusive (IIRC). For how long? No one knows.

How many services do I need to subscribe to to get most of the content I need/want? 3? 5? More? How much will it cost?

Oh, and you’re lucky if you’re in the US. If you’re outside the US, finding whete content is available becomes a never-ending exercise in frustration due to territorial limitations (which for some reason still apply to globally available and accessible internet services).

Finding where content is available outside the US isn't a super hard exercise, it's just frustrating. The answer at least half the time is "you can't".

None of those complaints with the exception of perhaps a syndicated TV show showing up in a guide is resolved by more traditional TV model.

I really doubt having to google where a particular show is airing is actually a painful chore.

That's for you to decide, but at least you have the choice now.
